I can see You're slipping away from me And you're so afraid That I'll plead with you to stay But I'm gonna be strong And let you go your way Love is gone There's no sense in holding on And your pity now Would be more than I could bare But I'm gonna be strong And pretend I don't care I'm gonna be strong And stand as tall as I can I'm gonna be strong And let you go along And take it like a man When you say it's the end I'll hand you a line I'll smile and say Don't you worry I'm fine But you'll never know darling After you kiss me goodbye How I'll break down and cry
